Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance hot strength and exhibit total performance of high speed bonder by utilizing a gold alloy lead which is obtained by including strontium of the specified weight % to gold having the specified purity or more. CONSTITUTION:A gold alloy lead used is composed of strontium of 0.0001- 0.01wt% and high purity gold with purity of 99.99wt% as the remainder. For example, a mixing ratio of Au-Sr mother alloy including Sr of known content and high purity gold is determined in order to obtain the desired contents of Sr. These are respectively measured and dissolved in the crusible under inactive gas ambient. The mixed material is rolled into a line having the constant diameter by forging or grooved roll after the casting. Thereafter, the rolled lead is further extended gradually by a dice with a small diameter. When contents of strontium is larger in amount, both normal temperature strength and hot strength become high, but when it exceeds 0.01wt%, a ball is deformed and therefore it must be 0.01wt% or less. Meanwhile, when content is 0.0001wt% or less, effect can no longer be obtained.

Such a bonding process can be performed manually or automatically using a wire bong. However, if the properties of the gold wire used for such bonding vary, the ball shape, loop shape, and bonding strength will vary, reducing the reliability of semiconductor devices. I try to use pure gold. However, in recent years, attempts have been made to further increase the speed of automatic bongos in order to reduce the assembly costs of semiconductor devices, especially for process C, but it has become clear that the above-mentioned high-purity gold wire is not compatible with such increased speeds. It's here. The reason for this is that the mechanical strength of high-purity gold wire, especially its breaking strength in hot conditions, is low. □When the gold wire is pulled by high-speed movement of the cavity, the tensile force may exceed the breaking strength of the gold wire. This is because wire breakage occurs frequently during Bonde/R jigs. Also, even if you manage to bond without breaking the wire, the high-purity gold wire once exposed to heat will become luxuriously soft and lose most of its strength to maintain its loop shape, causing the loop to sag. hand(
(This is called loop sag) It may come into contact with the element or the metal part on which the element is mounted, causing malfunction.
